This inner turmoil would later shape his career as a film director. In this biography, Peter Ackroyd offers a nuanced portrait of Hitchcock's life, revealing the man behind the iconic films. From his early struggles to control the press's image of himself, to his love of practical jokes and his infamous working methods, Ackroyd sheds light on the intricacies of Hitchcock's personality. Through a series of engaging anecdotes, Ackroyd brings to life the people who knew Hitchcock, including some of his most famous stars. This is a story about a man who, despite his fears, was able to create some of the most enduring films in cinema history.
